Louiza Patikas is coming to the cobbles
We're delighted to announce that Louiza Patikas is joining the cast of Coronation Street.
Louiza, who is best known for her portrayal of Helen Archer in long-running radio drama The Archers, will make her debut on the cobbles in July playing Moira, office manager at Weatherfield Medical Centre.
We’ll first see Moira when Liz gets a job as a receptionist at the surgery, but Liz fails to hit it off with her boss, as a forthright and feisty Moira looks set to ruffle more than a few feathers
Louiza, whose other recent credits include ITV’s Unforgotten, said:
"I'm cock-a-hoop to be working on Coronation Street. It's a fantastic show which I've always loved for its superb writing and iconic characters”.
Producer Kate Oates said:
“I'm so excited to welcome Louiza to Corrie. Louiza is no stranger to long-running drama; but as Moira, viewers will get to see another side to her - and enjoy her amazing talent for comedy."
